The ACS COMP OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award program provides
$1,000 to up to four outstanding tenure-track junior faculty members
to present their work in COMP poster session at the Fall 2019 San DiegoACS National Meeting. The
Awards are designed to assist new faculty members in gaining
visibility within the COMP community. Award certificates and $1,000
prizes will be presented at the COMP Poster session. Applications for
Outstanding Junior Faculty Awards are invited from all current
tenure-track junior (untenured) faculty who are members of ACS and the
ACS Division of Computers in Chemistry. Researchers at institutions such as national labs that have positions comparable to tenure-track faculty may also be considered. Selection
criteria will include the novelty and importance of the work to be
presented, CV of the applicant, as well as the level of departmental
support as indicated by the applicant's department Chair or Chair
designee. Applicants must be a current member of the ACS COMP Division, seehttp://www.acscomp.org/members/join-comp.

To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in San Diego, CA, August 25 - 29 2019, do the following:

1) submit your poster abstract to the "OpenEye Award" poster symposium on the ACS MAPS system.Do not submit your abstract to the standard poster session- it must be submitted for the OpenEye poster session or your application will not be considered.

2) fill out the application form (CLICK HERE), which also explains how to submit a single pdf document containing: a title, authors and extended abstract of the work (no more than 2 pages), a complete CV (including your ACS member number and confirmation that you are a member of the ACS COMP division) and the signed letter of departmental support. Make sure your CV highlights the details of your accomplishments as an independent researcher, including all articles/chapters/works published (using a * for publications in which you are corresponding author), honors and funding obtained, students mentored, contributions/service to the computational chemistry community and so on. If you include work not yet accepted (in preparation, or submitted), place them in a separate list from your accepted or published works. Make sure the judges can easily determine the impact of your independent work as compared to that associated with your prior mentors (clearly note which publications and other products are a result of your independent work).

The deadline for completing both of these items is MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME, March 25, 2019.

Note that the award application is for the poster session. If you want
to also give an oral presentation, you must submit a separate and significantly different abstract
to MAPS for an oral presentation in a relevant session, in addition to
the poster abstract in the award section (note that acceptance into
the oral sessions is not guaranteed).
